#Like it's kinda a background thing in s2 and s3 but 3x03 adds to it nicely

totally agree with you on lmks pacing, it works for me because pretty much every plot element thats supposed to matter, even if it only lasts for 2 or so episodes (i.e possessed wukong) is treated with weight
that and there arent characters/scenes that take away a substantial amount of spotlight from other things that could be focused on (smartie kid not withstanding)
YES EXACTLY. EXACTLY
Like, with possessed Wukong specifically I got everything I could have wanted from it. We had him attack MK no less than 3 times, we had MK trying to reason with him (and failing), we had MK believing in SWK (and getting him back), we had possessed Wukong fighting Macaque, it retroactively added to Wukong's "reaching for more power/immortality" arc in sick and twisted ways. I love it here.
And, look. I said *maybe* you could cut Smartie Kid from s3, with tears in my eyes, because honestly I love that episode and what it contributes. It shows us how Wukong is going to gain his strength back, and most importantly it re-establishes MK's powers and shows us how he's feeling about not having those powers. That and 3x03 takes a big bright highlighter to the fact that MK's "someone special"/"hey it's not normal that he can lift the staff", and I love that MK get's his powers back playing a rigged game. I also love that MK literally bets his friends in order to force himself to win (aka "going too far in the pursuit of power", because that's what monkeys do). MK deciding he was going to be the "smart one" after losing his sense of identity as the "Monkie Kid" is such a him choice. That was so MK of him. Plus, I think it's a nice transition episode between "The Great Grand Dragon of the East" and "The Winning Side".
#I think about ''He's in no state to waste his time on mere mortals—especially now that I don't have my powers'' a lot#Like it's so wrong in every way#MK you're not even a mere mortal. And even if you were SWK fucking loves you dude#They are just so *gestures*#Wukong you gotta regain your strength I get it. But why are you being an asshole about it asfdasdfasfd#OH MAN I DIDN'T EVEN MENTION MK'S LIKE. ''SMARTIE KID''/PLAN MAN ARC#MK using his brain since 1x10 to try and make it safer for his friends <3#Like it's kinda a background thing in s2 and s3 but 3x03 adds to it nicely#And then when they called him the plan man in 4x12 I fucking cheered#LIKE OMG.
